File Explorer

The file explorer operates the server-side file system. The toolbar at the top of the left panel switches between Recent / Explorer / Git / Debug / Search; Explorer is the file browser.

The Home button: jump to the terminal’s cwd

Click the Home (house) button in the toolbar:

  • Switches to the Explorer view;
  • Jumps to the working directory of the active terminal (its cwd);
  • Pins that directory as a tree and clears the search box — you always start from “wherever the terminal is, that’s what you see”.
The file explorer in normal mode — Home, breadcrumbs, and the flat list
  • Pin as tree: the pin button at the right end of the breadcrumbs toggles between the flat list and tree mode. In tree mode folders expand into a collapsible directory tree (the Home jump pins automatically);
  • Search: the search box at the top filters the current list by name as you type; Search in Folder from the Recent context menu runs a recursive search over a whole directory.

Basic operations

Right-click a file or folder:

  • Create: New Folder / New File;
  • Edit: Rename; Copy / Cut / Paste (works across directories);
  • Delete: Delete, with a confirmation dialog;
  • Terminal tie-in: Open in Terminal opens a new terminal tab at that directory; cd to Directory cds the current terminal there;
  • OS tie-in: Reveal in File Explorer shows a local directory in the system file manager;
  • Paths: Copy Full Path / Copy Relative Path;
  • Serve: Host with HTTP server publishes the directory as an HTTP file service (see Host with HTTP Server); Open in App opens it with an agent app detected on the server.

Every operation acts on the server-side file system; remote sessions behave exactly like local ones.
